Post the complete error message(s) you get when attempting the install.

Does it install successfully via Windows Update?

How and when was SP3 installed on the problem machine? Was a beta build of
SP3 ever installed on that machine?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running when SP3 was installed?
....when you attempted to install KB950759?

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related
to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB950759).

I did a check in google for this error, some
sites said to uninstall SP3 to go back to SP2

(Well obviously I cant because SP3 was slipstreamed).

And another site said to reinstall IE 7 (which I did).

This fixed it and the updated installed fine.

So, somehow, I dont think slipstreaming IE7 with SP3
is a good idea. It can screw things up

I may have to make another slipstreamed cd, with SP3 and WMP11.

And install IE 7 and the IE updates AFTER
I install XP next time

Thanx for the info PA

Who ever told you that slipstreaming IE7 was a good, let alone functional,
thing to do?
